When you're older you can get your own back. Now I'm always right and she has to admit it. I was pobably right back then too, but if I argued I'd get a slap and wouldn't be allowed to watch Monkey on Friday night.

Drew, I* could've told you that disappearing for any length of time to go and enjoy yourself would meet with a low appreciation rating - and I'm a bloke

* along with a huuuuge percentage of the blokes on the forum

Its what some of us grew up with (as well as 'The Water Margin' ). Far better than watching a bear walk around starkers all day and then putting on clothes to go to bed - no wonder my generation grew up confused and disenchanted

Is this sausage dead yet?

Schroedinger's Scat ~ Whether you open the box or not, poop's gonna happen!

Why's Mum objecting, Drew ?
Are there no assurances you can give her that'd put her mind at ease ?

It's hard though, knowing your children are doing something potentially dangerous/ accident prone/ where you don't know they're fine.
If we want them to thrive though we have to accept that they are adults, and it's their life, not ours.

I still panic when I know they're going climbing though, especially on ice I don't tell them that, then they'd fret about me worrying, I just ask that they phone me when they're coming home.

Best advice ? Small steps Drew Nights out, weekends out, weeks out doing just the things that got her all bothered.

atb,

You are never too old for a happy childhood. Muddy is a state of happiness :-)
